***Background music consisted of various songs by artists and bands that were played on our show throughout the semester. All good things must come to end, I suppose. For this semester, Never Mind the Mainstream is kaput. However, we'll be back in late January with new music and more of the same NMTM you've grown to know and love. Jim and I would like to thank every single person individually, however, that would take a very long time and we tire easily. Nevertheless, thank you to all who tuned in last night and throughout the entire semester. We got so many calls and messages from all of you - we are truly thankful. We hope you had as much fun tuning in/calling in/dancing/etc. to the show as we did making it. On another note, this was our awards show. We had such a great time doing it that we went into hour three! We finished about a half hour over our time was up, but it's all good. What a show. What a semester. Enjoy the music. Enjoy the memories. Enjoy your winter break. Good luck on finals. And lastly, we'll see you "Left of the Dial"! THANK YOU!
